Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Kimon Fountoukidis raised to 7,500 from the hijack, Theodoros Ampelikiotis in the small blind three-bet to 17,500 and the big blind four-bet jammed for their remaining 82,500. Fountoukidis folded and Ampelikiotis made the call.

Big Blind: A♣K♠
Theodoros Ampelikiotis: 10♦10♣

The window card brought the K♥ and the A♠ quickly followed. Unfortunately, for the big blind, the third card of the flop was the 10♥. The turn and river fell the 9♣ and 8♦ respectively and Ampelikiotis sent his opponent to the rail.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With approximately 22,000 in the middle, two players were looking at a board that read 5♥3♠2♥. Ertan Ates in the big blind checked the action over to Mauricio Sanches in the hijack. Sanches bet out 8,000 and Ates made the call.

The 7♠ turn checked through to the 2♣ on the river. Ates now took the lead for 16,000 and Sanches made the call. Ates tabled 5♠4♣; his pair of fives were enough to see Sanches' cards into the muck.
